Subject: enhanced X-FEN converter

Hi chess friends,

I´ve now implemented a few new features in my X-FEN converter, and therefore
it has got a new name: FENTool (current version 1.5)

The major features now are:

1) converts FENs between 3 formats (Shredder-FEN, X-FEN and a ´compatible´ FEN,
which uses "KQkq" for all classical chess positions)

2) generates every FRC/Chess960 start position (either a single or a list for
any FRC number, or a list of random positions) - of course in all 3 formats

3) corrects some errors in PGN files (incomplete FEN strings, missing ´SetUp´
tags) and adds empty lines before and after the header block

4) last but not least you can now delete unwanted tags from the headers in
PGN files with the new option ´/h-tag1,tag2,...´, append only the tags you want
(by ´/h+tag1,tag2,...´), or even reduce the headers to the 7 standard tag with
the option ´/h+´.

FENTool 1.5 is of course FreeWare (sorry Rolf ;-)), and is available from my
download site (under ´My chess tools´):

Regards,
Franz.
